N0T PENNYS B0AT - It isn't cool to sound like a grumpy old man regarding the Xbox One. Take time to form a real opinion.

Hunt. Kill. Become.

This week's biggest release is Radical's sequel to their 2009 violently fun open-world game, Prototype. In this one, you'll be switching protagonists and hunting down Alex Mercer from the first game as Sergeant James Heller, a military man on a revenge kick after he has contracted the virus that now plagues his body like Mercer's. It sounds like an awesome final boss battle is upon us.

I fully intend on playing Prototype 2, just won't be making any more purchases for a while. I've spent all of my money on workout supplements.

What's funny is that i played NIN at work and this guy was like "what is this? I like the original Johnny cash version better" so i bitch slapped him and said personal jesus was a cover too. Although to me the prototype 2 commercial seems to say "jump!" and it's cool. No stupid challenges please!

The Crash Time games. So bad - they're good. Love it. Definite purchase once the price drops. Normally a cinch for G too. :-)

I want Prototype 2 but between still needing to finish the original and having many other games I'm far more interested in as of right now...this one is going to have to wait I think.
I aim to misbehave!

Matt the dragon said:prototype 1 was boring bland and repetitive after an hourAll games are repetitive. If you enjoy the game, that's a good thing and vice versa. I had a blast playing the first one (the amount of power you have is insane) and will definitely be picking the sequel up tomorrow. I'm very interested to see how the whole "making the original protagonist the antagonist" plays out.
